About the project

Alice Springs’ North Road Quarry has a reputation in the region for providing the highest quality aggregates whilst meeting very tight deadlines.  It is supported by other Hy-Tec quarries in the Northern Territory, ensuring the team always delivers on their promises.

For the Asia Pacific Aircraft Storage (APAS) expansion project, Hy-Tec is supplying over 30,000 tonnes of subbase material from the local quarry north of the Alice Springs township. With the current COVID-19 pandemic halting air travel, APAS had to fast-track their expansion plans to accommodate an influx of airlines looking for temporary aircraft storage. The Hy-Tec team adapted swiftly and was able to commence supply in line with the shortened notice period.

The team’s strong quarrying knowledge, coupled with Hy-Tec’s technical capability, and ability to navigate the logistical requirements resulted in the material being delivered in time and up to speed with the placing team on site.

Hy-Tec will also be supplying aggregate for asphalt production when the expansion project nears its conclusion.
